Dacor The door does not spring shut. Can I adjust something in the hinge or do I need a new part? Thanks

The hinges should have an adjustable screw to adjust the tension. You will have to use a screwdriver and adjust it.

i just had a similar problem .the door would fall and i had to lift the top of my door hinge to close it .I found that the pin on the door hinge spring had fall.en out . I installed it back and now it works the way it should.the spring should feel tight with no movement.

jenn air had some issues with there hinges wearing fast in prior years on there ovens and then you have the ones the kids use as a trampoline sometimes or the heavy turkeys laying on the door while it is opened... there really isn't any adjustment for the door the hinges bolt inside and are held in one place by a few screws ...they are replaceable as welll as the door gasket on the unit... hope this helps you out some... alot of the appliance sites out there will be able to assist you with parts such as www.sears.com then click the parts direct link up top have your model number usually inside unit either on door or inside where door closes... some units between door and cabinet area... good luck to you

Oven door hinges are not adjustable, assuming you have fitted the door back correctly, and it is still not closing properly, then the only solution is to replace the door hinges.

if it is a drop down door with side hinges, then the chances are it is weak door springs that is the problem.
The only solution is to replace both hinges, as there is normally no adjustment for tensioning.
Hope this helps.

As you said they are spring loaded so be careful. You will need to pull on the hinge, which takes some muscle and you should see a small hole to put a pin or small screwdriver in to hold the hinge out. When this is in place on both the hinges you can put the door back on. This is the most common hinge style on Wpl or there may be tabs on the tops of the hinges to hold the hinge out. If the door still does not close all the way after getting the hinges all the way on you will need to take the door apart and replace the hinge/spring assy. Thanks for rating me after you read this.

These hinges are now obsolete and you cannot get them anywhere. The poblem with this type of hinge is not with weak springs or anything like that, it is with the pivot pin in the door hinge. Follow these instructions and it will not cost you anything for the repair.
It is best to remove the oven from the housing. Remove both sides of the oven panels, you have to remove the top first, then the sides (remove about 20 screws all together). Support the bottom oven door first by tying a bit of string between the bottom and top oven door hand rails. This will stop the door falling down when you remove the springs. unhook the springs and the door will just slide out. (Use a loop of string attached to the back end of the spring to pull it from its holes.)
Dismantle the door by removing the screws. You will probably find that the the hinge pivot pins have come away from the U shaped hinge bracket. The secret is to make sure that these are fixed firm back into the bracket. What I did was to nip the U hinge bracket in a vice, (or use pliers) so that the pin will now protude slightly each side of the bracket. This allows more surface bearing area so the pin will not pull itself out of the hinge. To further make sure, I glued the ends of the pin with epoxy resin.
Then reassemble.
My door now feels like a new one even though it is 15 years old.

If it is a door that lifts up and down, then the only solution is to replace both door hinges, as they are not normally adjustable, it is the springs that are weak.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

is there tension on the door at the point where it doesnt seal,is the spring broken/missing,when the door opens and closes is there enough travel from point a to point b inside the cabinet on both sides of the hinge area, is the sping loaded mechanism damaged .

no adjustment. probably needs new hinges - hinge spring gone slack
